Two people stand at rest on ice (.e. a frictionless surface). They push each other and then slide apart. An observer who is stationary relative to the le. Sees that the 45-kg person moves at 0.375 m/s. The other person has a mass of 60 kg. How fast does the observer see the 60-kg person go? a. 0.75 m/s
b. 0.00 m/s
c. 0.50 m/s
d. 0.38 m/s
e. 0.28 m/s

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
